Journey vs No Longer Home
Journey
Journey is literally a quintessential "artsy" adventure game. Why so? Well, the game puts you in the shoes of a mysterious robed figure who you will control throughout your adventure across beautiful, quiet and mostly desert landscapes. Each landscape provides players with a puzzle to solve that will allow them to move on to the next scene, though players can simply roam around the place and drink in the gorgeous visuals.There isn't a lot of buttons in the game and that's fine enough since you really don't need much to solve the puzzles, but personally, I'm incredibly intrigued by the Sing function. Although it is used to solve certain puzzles, most of the time you'll probably be using it idly while your character is travelling. Depending on how long you press the button and how fast you do so, you can actually create amazing little tunes that you'd love to have it recorded down and turned into perhaps a ringtone or something.
That said, Journey is a game that's so much more than composing music and solving puzzles. It is a journey (like its namesake) to help the robed figure discover who he/she is and to help you figure out what's happened in the game world, resulting in the sprawling desert that spans most of the game.
No Longer Home
No Longer Home is a visual novel with some elements from point-and-click adventures. In this game you play as alternately as Bo and Ao, two young LGBTQ persons, who are feeling lost, frustrated with circumstances beyond their control, and worried about their life after completing their university studies. Explore their cozy apartment home, interact with the many characters, and help them learn how to say goodbye to No. 29, the place they have both been living in and have had great memories of.Platforms
